so i got some money back from school and there was a $200 credit on our rent this month so i decided it's time to buy a new winter coat and a new fall jacket. i know the coat i want but i am having trouble deciding which jacket to order so i need help! they're both from target but the target here sucks and doesn't have either one so i have to order online and i'm having trouble deciding which one i like better and most importantly which one looks longer. so should i get
( jacket #1 )
or
( jacket #2 )

i went to sleep around 2 and woke up around 6. i've had such bad insomnia lately. i did a little bit of google searching and decided that i have a magnesium deficiency. based on my symptoms lately it seems to make sense.
according to wikipedia:
Possible symptoms and pathologies as a result of magnesium deficiency are widespread, but may include: Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, Vitamin K deficiency, depressed immunity, depression, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, increased levels of stress, insomnia, fasciculation, migraine, cancer, ADHD, asthma, and allergies.
according to medline plus:
Early symptoms include irritability, anorexia, fatigue, insomnia, and muscle twitching.
according to the mayo clinic (my favorite medical source):
Magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia) may cause involuntary shaking (tremors) of the tongue, arms and legs. Other signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency include: - Sudden, involuntary muscle twitches or jerks (myoclonus)
- Muscle weakness
- Sudden sensations of spinning (vertigo)
- Fatigue
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia)
i've also decided that i probably have throat cancer because one of my tonsils has swollen up to an enormous size. it looks like a golf ball! okay okay i know it's probably not cancer. if it doesn't go back to normal in a few days i will go to the doctor i guess.

one day my music snob boyfriend asked me my top 5 bands and being me i told him i needed two top 5's. i have to put the beatles and carole king together where they belong, separate from jack's mannequin and fiona apple, which he replied to with "your top 10 then." he just didn't seem to understand that i can't in my mind make a top 10 where the beatles co-exist with the academy is or fiona apple with pink floyd, etc. at the same time though i don't know if he even believes i know who pink floyd is but that is not the point! i never complied my two top 5's, which is fine with me, i hate labeling things as my "favorite" this or that, and he hasn't asked about it again, and hopefully he won't. but the point of all of this is that i was checking my last.fm which i never pay attention to really and i was intersted to see what it said my top 10 most playeds are.
1. the format
2. the beatles
3. portishead
4. motion city soundtrack
5. fiona apple
6. jason mraz
7. the flobots (local holla)
8. ingrid michaelson
9. jack's mannequin
10. (the) smashing pumpkins
music snob boyfriend made the mistake of assuming the academy is... is my favorite band, but they come in at 12. i'm not really sure why the smashing pumpkins are so high. i love them of course, but i definitely don't love them as much as the academy is. however this top 10 most played actually seems to be a good representation of my top 10 i'd make up for myself, minus the smashing pumpkins + the academy is. i guess now i know what to say if/when the subject comes up again.
note: just because this is my current top 10 most played definitely doesn't mean this is all i listen to. people (music snob boyfriends) seem to get it into their heads that if you mention you like one band or artist that they are all you listen to which is really not true. i like everything from ben folds to the beatles to the hush sound to noah and the whale (which i just discovered. on my own. sans music snob boyfriend) to classical, swing, klezmer, a little bit of blues, the list goes on. that is all.

i called financial aid today because my loan still hasn't dispersed and it's been a week. the guy said everything checks out so he put an "urgent" on it to get it to process faster haha! thank god.
i got my car back today, hooray! it's complicated living without one and having to bum rides from people. it would be easier if boy had his car, but alas, we are a one car family. i have to drive him to windsor again tonight. i am not looking forward to it but i can take homework and write my paper or take yarn and crochet.
i went to all of my classes so far today and i'll be going to my class tonight so A+ for that. i did leave my history of mass comm class early because i had to pick up my car but they were just watching a movie i have already seen. my paper is for that class and it's due thursday. i have to write about "truth" i don't think it will be too hard.
i have a test tonight that i haven't studied for yet but a bunch of us are getting together at 4:30 to study for it so hopefully we will get actual studying done and not just mess around. i only missed one on our last test though, which i was not expecting at all. i thought i was going to bomb. so i'm in good shape so far which is good.
i have to go study soon. the end.

it has been raining like mad. thank you hurricanes. i feel bad for the people who are getting hit hard, but we really needed this rain. i love waking up and going to sleep when the sky is leaking. it makes me feel beautiful.
i am making a scarf for my boyfriend. i am going home for the weekend, which will be until tuesday due to my class schedule and i wanted to get him some kind of present or something before i went. he doesn't have a car currently and has been biking everywhere and now that it's getting colder i decided he could use a scarf! i started it last night and i am so out of practice i only got through three or four rows in an hour so i decided to make it a long term project. i want to get back into crocheting and finally finish the blankets i was going to make for my grandmothers.
my student loan still hasn't gone through. when i went to financial aid on tuesday they told me back in march i hadn't accepted my award letter and so it went away and i had to reclaim it or something like that. this happens every semester, so i filled out a form saying i wanted it back and then wednesday i went online and officially "accepted" my money and did my loan counseling. i don't know how long it takes to process once i accept it but i guess if it hasn't by monday i will call them again. i don't want to get charged a ton because my tuition was due monday and now it is friday.
i am going home for the weekend, which i already said, but i am excited to see my parents and my people at home and my puppies!
i just realized i left my camera in the trunk of my car and i wish i hadn't. the boyfriend drove it half an hour on the highway to work with the emergency brake on, so it had to go in for a checkup. i hope it's not super expensive to fix. he said he'd pay for it but he is already having a multitude of money problems so i told him not to worry about it now and that he can pay me back later when he has the money. probably not the best idea if things between us ever go bad, but i don't forsee that happening in the near future, so i think it will be okay.
that's all i have for now! xoxo

i am going to get like $1200 back from school. thank you UNC for this award money you have given me and finally being useful to my life. i will NOT go on a shopping spree with this. i will NOT. i will put $1000 of it into my savings account and LEAVE IT. this is gods way of telling me to start saving for the future. i feel like this is a sign that it's time to start remembering that i'm going to be an adult soon. i AM going to buy myself a new fall/winter jacket but that is ALL. and maybe a haircut. things that i NEED. i NEED a new jacket because mine is huge on me since i've lost so much weight recently. BUT i am not allowed to go crazy and buy a crap ton of photography shit even though i want to and a new lens would *only be* $200 or so. Not Going To Happen. i am not. ( this is the coat i want though )

i am so sick! i hate that i am beginning journal entry #1 that way but i am. i wanted to put something super and positive here and instead it will just be one big bitch and moan about how crap i feel. my boyfriend is perfect however and ( takes care of me better than i take care of myself )
i generally tend to take pretty good care of him though too, so it evens out. i let him take my car to work yesterday since i was much too sick. i couldn't even stand in line at the financial aid office without feeling like i was going to pass out! but really i don't let people borrow my car. i am very protective of it, even though it's not that great of a car, but it's my car! i have seen what not having a car does, see: the boyfriend, and being a one car family makes things more complicated, especially since we don't even live together!
in other news i ( ordered a necklace ) the other day, which arrived today! unfortunately they sent it to me in gold instead of silver, like i ordered and i'm trying to decide if it's worth it to make a fuss and send it back or to buy some spray paint or something and alter it myself or just learn to wear it gold. i own zero gold jewelry and i wouldn't know how to go about it/what colors are supposed to look good with it etc. i bought it (thinking it would come silver) for a reason and to signify a change and a new sense of purpose in my life. i wanted to be able to wear it often and wear it to remember WHY i bought it. it doesn't have the same feeling to me in gold, but i feel like it could if i learned what to do with it. what do you guys think?
anyway, i think that is all for now. in my next entry i think i am going to do a little introduction type thing for people who may be reading who i may not know. how self centered sounding. i really just wanted to ask what you all thought about the necklace this time. thanks guys and i hope you all have super days!
